Before & After: the Nautical Button Skirt

There’s nothing better than trends that are simple to recreate, and this season’s nautical vibe is one that drew my eye straight away, while I was trawling net-a-porter to see what I could a. afford or b. make. I came up trumps when I spotted a number of different items (jackets, dresses, skirts and the like) embellished with gold nautical inspired buttons. And so I thought why not? In truth to do this project you can simply add gold buttons to any navy skirt, but I thought it would be nice to create a faux panel which gave the impression of a button up style. This turned out to be easy to do using the piece of fabric left over when I shortened this skirt. Yay!

Voila! Pair with a few golden accessories to bring out the bling. Can I be honest and say this is one of my fave projects for a long time? Mainly because I know it’s something I’ll wear and wear and wear.
